Inspired by the Goddess Bast (Bastet) of ancient Egypt! She began as the warlike lioness protector of Lower Egypt, but later became the more familiar house cat and protector of the home. Cats were sacred to her and many pets were mummified and placed in her care after death. She was also a Goddess of fertility, sex, and safe travel.

The necklace features a pewter cat cartouche pendant (1 1/2 by 3/4 inches, not including bail) on a strand of golden cat’s eye, garnet, and carnelian with glittery faceted silver glass spacer beads. Necklace measures 25 inches in length. $47
